Hello.
I have installed spamassassin from www.backports.org and runs well, but
when I want stop this gives me a message error that perl is not found.
I have all ok in my system, and perl is in the right place, what can I
do here?
Here is all details

spamd.
The backported version of spamassassin uses /etc/init.d/spamassassin as
it is found in the unstable version. That does not seem to work with the
version of the start-stop-daemon command that is in stable. (It probably
has something to do with the --exec option; I have not looked at the
details.)

I think it might work to use the old initscript from the stable package
with the rest of the backported newer version. If the stable .deb
file is still in your package cache then you can do this:
dpkg-deb -X /var/cache/apt/archives/spamassassin_3.1.7-2_all.deb /tmp
mv /etc/init.d/spamassassin /etc/init.d/spamassassin.bpo
cp /tmp/etc/init.d/spamassassin /etc/init.d/
If you do not have the spamassassin_3.1.7-2_all.deb anymore than you can
download it again with
aptitude download spamassassin/stable
and then proceed as above. (The package will be downloaded to the
current directory instead of /var/cache/apt/archives/.)
I don't run stable, so obviously I cannot try this myself and therefore
I cannot guarantee anything. Please read the relevant manpages and check
if you agree with what the above commands are meant to do.
